2012 Map of Red Cloud Creek West

About this map

Red Cloud Cem stands near the northern boundary of this high plains landscape, a primary landmark for genealogists tracing local families. The drainage patterns of Red Cloud Cr and Dry Rawhide Cr dictate the layout of the rural road network, which includes the historically significant Fort Laramie Rd passing through the southern reaches. The terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Pine Ridge, where Pine Ridge Cr flows through the breaks toward Dickerson Draw. This area represents the open range character of Goshen County, where water features like Skinner Reservoir provide essential points of orientation amidst the section lines and grazing lands of the early twenty-first century.
